Since 9/11, the Jordanian Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi (b. West Bank,
1959) has emerged as one of the most important radical Muslim
thinkers alive today. While al-Maqdisi may not be a household name
in the West, his influence amongst like-minded Muslims stretches
across the world from Jordan - where he lives today - to Southeast
Asia. His writings and teachings on Salafi Islam have inspired
terrorists from Europe to the Middle East, including Abu Mus'ab
al-Zarqawi, the former leader of al-Qa'ida in Iraq, and Ayman
al-Zawahiri, Osama Bin Laden's successor as the head of al-Qa'ida
Central. This groundbreaking book, which is the first comprehensive
assessment of al-Maqdisi, his life, ideology, and influence, is
based on his extensive writings and those of other jihadis, as well
as on interviews that the author conducted with (former) jihadis,
including al-Maqdisi himself. It is a serious and intense work of
scholarship that uses this considerable archive to explain and
interpret al-Maqdisi's particular brand of Salafism. More broadly,
the book offers an alternative, insider perspective on the rise of
radical Islam, with a particular focus on Salafi opposition
movements in Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
